Tropical storms are becoming more common along the Dutch Coast When winds are particularly strong, they can wreak havoc on homes and other structures.

In preparation for future storms, local firm Borren Staalenhoef Architecten BV bna designed a house that can resist Category 3 hurricanes. The firm's cofounder, André Staalenhoef, told Business Insider that the home's rounded roof and sturdy materials help it withstand powerful wind speeds. The house was constructed above sea level as well, helping it avoid the risk of flooding.

Once the parts were all on-site, a construction crew assembled the prefab house in just two days in Vlieland, Netherlands.

Take a look below.
